I interact with you based on your level of comfort. I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergencies. I have numerous new and cherished friends from people met through Airbnb. And sometimes as host or guest, we might simply be different people. That's okay also. My goal remains to make your stay comfortable.

City of Raleigh occupancy rules specify how many occupants may be at my home at any one time. Because of that restriction, I can only host one married couple, one family, or four single occupants at the house at any point in time. There can be no deviations from this rule.

If I am not at the house, I am available via phone, text, email and Airbnb messaging 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

**** These are City of Raleigh rules that I am not allowed to negotiate. Any attempt to subvert them will be reported to the City and you must vacate the home--immediately. I apologize for sounding harsh. It's a fact. ***

I am a social person, with a peaceful home. At this time, I am unable to lift some heavy objects. House guests and friends have been helping me with the care of the home.

I work full-time off site as a marketing writer/editor/ instructional designer. I have personally traveled (on an extremely tight budget) much of North America for my son's love of hockey (approximately 270,000 hockey miles). I've also traveled extensively for business at several points (so far) in my career. I've experienced limited travels overseas. I look forward to resuming my own travels at some point.

******************************************************************************My goal is to provide a safe comfortable space for you so that you can stretch out and feel *at home.*

I've had two occasions when an older woman has assumed that my home is exclusively for females. I do not discriminate who stays in my home based on gender, race, politics. or other personal matters. All persons deserve safe and comfortable accommodations. Acceptance of a booking is based on availability and if I feel comfortable for my safety and the safety of other occupants of the home.

I have several larger (60 to 80 pound) dogs and one outdoor cat. Occasionally, an Airbnb visitor may book a stay with a well-behaved pet. This is a pet-friendly home. The dogs are downstairs so as to minimize the dog hair upstairs. I use a series of gated doors to shift pets from one area to another so that a "dog-free" experience is available. My dogs are relatively quiet, but do bark when someone approaches the door and upon meeting new people (and if there is a raccoon or other creature on the front porch). Being large dog-friendly is a necessity. The home is FREQUENTLY vacuumed.

One of my older dogs likes to hang out in the foyer and watch the cat and watch the world go by from the front windows. He is a pleasant, laid-back fellow and makes an awesome greeter.

Spring and summer of 2015: The home continues to undergo changes:- The kitchen cabinets have been changed out and the flooring redone. Trim work and some cosmetic work remains to be completed. One lower cabinet remains to be replaced.- The master bathroom has been re-tiled with vanities and sinks updated.- The shared middle bathroom has been updated with a new surround, tub, and Delta faucet.*********************************************************************************The home features a fully fenced backyard.

There's always good coffee. :) Coffeemakers abound here: A small Keurig, a Tassimo, French Press, a stovetop Italian espresso maker and several percolators. I generally keep Tim Hortons coffee around. Starbucks is less than 5 minutes away. Several other notable and awesome coffee shops are within a 5 to 10 minute drive.

The ability to make a good cuppa tea is also available. I have porcelain teapots, stacking Turkish tea brewer, and good old-fashioned mugs for your comforting cup of tea.

When possible, I will bake or cook a meal for you. Being able to share a meal may not always be practical with travels and schedules.

So why do I host on AirBNB? I truly enjoy meeting, hosting and, yes, networking folks Keeping the price modest as a host is also a way to pay it back and pay it forward. We've experienced years of grace where folks have provided accommodations at a reasonable price for hockey travels. .

The funds are helping me maintain the home. I am humbled and grateful for every booking.

Patsy is a wonderful, thoughtful hostess. She goes well beyond the basics to ensure her guests have everything needed. I will always check her for availability first when I travel to Raleigh. She sets the standard.

Room was great! Great space for 2 people with great master bath. Decent internet and chrome cast on the tv in room make it easy to watch Netflix or Hulu. Includes mini-fridge! You can pretty much stay in your room and never come out, except to eat. The area is quiet and very nice. Home has 3 BIG dogs and lots of shedding, so that's something to keep in mind. But I don't mind dog hair, as I have 2 of my own, so it wasn't an issue. And they don't go upstairs. 5 star room, 4 star house (she's also in the middle of some renovations, so its a 5 once done!), 5 star towels (lots of towels). 5 star review!

Patsy was absolutely amazing. Before I arrived, I knew the entry codes I would need and knew precisely what to expect. Despite being in another country, Patsy responded to every message I sent immediately. The room and the entire house was clean and lovely, despite having several large dogs on the premises. Patsy told me to expect some dog hair, but I never saw even the slightest hint of dog hair. I plan to return to Raleigh, and when I do, I will absolutely be staying with Patsy!

Patsy odgovara:

Thank you Shawn. Your review comes on the heels (or paw heels) of a prior review. The cleaning crew got it together! Thank you for your communications and feedback!

Patsy was easy to communicate with, and made sure that I was able to arrive, settle in, and depart easily. Her home is beautiful, clean, and spacious. We had a suite upstairs with a large bedroom, and a very luxurious bathroom. After a long day driving, I felt right at home and was able to relax! Her street is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and parking is easy.

Patsy odgovara:

Thank you! Elise and I began our communications while I was still close to home and we communicated while I was away. You were an awesome communicator and left the space very clean! I'm glad that the room worked out for you!
